Description

Bored with bland fake violin soundtracks ? Double Kick Heroes is a mashup of a shoot'em up with a frenetic rhythm game backed by an awesome METAL tune! It was inspired by the worlds of Q.Tarantino, S. King and R.Rodriguez.
Lead your band on an explosive roadtrip through the wasteland, blast zombies with your Gundillac and crush them with the power of METAL.
The game will pack in 30 songs, half a dozen chapters of adventures and a community level editor that will allow any music to be played to the rhythm of exploding zombie skulls.

History

Double Kick Heroes was initially created for Ludum Dare #34 in late 2015. The team wanted to make a frenetic rhythm game based on METAL and shooting and... well ultimate destruction, no less.
They joined their METAL forces together and borrowed inspiration from the works of Tarantino, Rodriguez, the Tenacious D and, of course all these METAL legends hanging over them.
With the groove of the epic Elmobo and his 25 years of experience in video game music AND METAL production, they won the Gold Medal for Music and ranked #10 in graphics for the Ludum Dare challenge. Many players enjoyed the mix of shooting, crimson mood and intense action on the beat.
The game rocketed to more than 200 comments and constructive feedbacks overwhelmed them.
After delivering an enhanced post jam version, more than 15 000 people played the game all around the world.
They were also best shooter for some monthes on itch.io, which in these days of abundant indie shooters is a feat in itself.
The crew felt a deep need for a rock solid metal-rhythm-action-shooting-Gundillac video game! So they decided to deliver a bigger and better version for desktops!
